JSU's women's basketball team has the chance to reach 11 Ohio Valley Conference wins for just the second time in program history. With a victory Saturday night, the Gamecocks would tie the program record for most OVC wins in a single season. A JSU win would also be JSU's 17th win of the season, one behind the 2003-04 squad with 18, and two behind the program's best Div. i team (2015-16) with 19 wins.
 
Today marks the 26th meeting between JSU and Austin Peay on the basketball court. APSU leads the series, 15-10, and is 9-3 in Clarksville, however JSU has won three of the last five matchups. Since the OVC expanded to an 18-game conference schedule this season from 16, JSU will play Austin Peay twice in the regular season for the first time since the 2010-11 season.
 
The Gamecocks rallied from a seven-point, fourth-quarter deficit to come back and beat Murray State on the road Thursday night at the CFSB Center to secure its spot in the OVC Tournament. Taylor Hawks totaled a team-best 14 points, and Cocoa Phelion pitched in 10.
 
Austin Peay is riding a two-game winning streak coming into the Saturday matchup. The Govs scored a 75-66 road win at Eastern Illinois last Saturday and downed Tennessee Tech in a tight 53-52 win at home Thursday. Men's Basketball - Game 29
